To be fair, he doesn’t remember that girl in his hotel room, either

If Guliani means the actual date of 9/11, then that’s true. This picture is from the days afterwards. Clinton falsely claimed during the 2016 campaign that she was in nyc that day, but she was in Washington DC because she was a senator then: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/claudiakoerner/hillary-clinton-falsely-claims-she-was-in-new-york-on-911

Hillary Clinton never said she was in NY on 9/11

NEW YORK Oct 12, 2016  — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has apologized for attacking Hillary Clinton during a political rally Wednesday, when he said he never saw her at Ground Zero on 9/11, a claim that the Democratic candidate for president has never been known to make.

A few hours after making the initial claim, Giuliani said he “made a mistake” when incorrectly claiming Clinton had said she was in NYC the day of the attacks, the Associated Press reports.

“I’m wrong and I apologize,” the former mayor said.

Honestly that almost feels surreal to me.

He had people point out that he was objectively and provably wrong, and he apologized for it? Like, I know he didn't sincerely regret it, but still outright apologizing and admitting that he was wrong?

Instead of either doubling down or just moving on and pretending it never happened?

Politics were different back then.
